He talks about how he came to ROH three months ago to become ROH Ambassador, but he wants to be straight with the crowd and tell the fans that he's decided to go back to WWE, which surprisingly got applause from the crowd. He put over the company and how hard everyone works to bring a good product to the fans, but he realizes that he belongs in WWE and that's where he wants to finish his career. He thanks the fans for accepting him as part of Ring Of Honor and tells everyone to keep supporting ROH.
Episode #13
-The show opens with Austin Aries coming out to the ring to address the crowd. He says with his good looks and youthful exuberance, he's fooled a lot of people into thinking he's a hot young prospect, but the reality is that he's a seasoned, well-traveled veteran. He says that no matter where he travels, the level of competition makes ROH the best stage in professional wrestling, and it's all because of the fickle, demanding, bloodthirsty fans. He's come out here trying to give the fans more and more, but it's never enough and it ends now because Aries is going to stop giving and start taking. He says the first thing he's taken in ROH is the spotlight, the second thing he took was everything Jerry Lynn, Tyler Black, and Bryan Danielson had to throw at him in the four way a few weeks ago and nobody could beat him. He called out Jerry Lynn, demanding that he come out to the ring and hand Aries the ROH World Title. Lynn didn't show, so Aries said that the reality Lynn refuses to face is going to have to come smack him in the head.
-Jay Briscoe defeated D'Lo Brown by countout
D'Lo is a lot bigger in person than he looks on TV. The match started fast with Jay going right after D'Lo. D'Lo tried taking a powder to the floor, but Jay went after him and sent him back in the ring. Briscoe with a cross body for two, but D'Lo got a leapfrog out of the corner and hit a lungblower on Briscoe to take control. Briscoe mounts a comeback, but D'Lo shuts him down with a big clothesline. Dueling D'Lo and Briscoe chants. D'Lo with a big vertical suplex for two before working Briscoe over in the corner with chops. D'Lo gets a small pop with the head bobble, but eats boot on a corner charge and then takes a flatliner into the second turnbuckle. Briscoe started going to work on D'Lo and gets a shoulderblock and a Death Valley Driver for two. D'Lo reverses out of the Jay Driller and goes for a Sky High, but Briscoe reverses to a Frankensteiner to send D'Lo to the floor. D'Lo stalls outside the ring and stays out there until he gets counted out. Briscoe grabs the mic, calls D'Lo a , and demands he come back into the ring. D'Lo teases that he'd come back, but changes his mind and heads to the back instead. This was much better than their New York match from a few months ago until the stupid finish.
